GRAND MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE PORTS

Naples -
- Beyond Pompeii, which is definitely a must-do for anyone visiting Naples, other areas around Naples are just beautiful -- Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, , Positano, and Capri, among others.
- Capri can be a full day in itself
- Or you can incorporate a day combining a Amalfi Coast tour with either Pompeii or Sorrento, Positano or all three.

Santorini -
   - scene of one of the world's most violent volcanic eruptions around 1450 B.C. and is one of the most scenically dramatic of all the Greek Islands. With its pitch-black beaches, rugged landscape and stunning caldera (volcanic crater), it's more akin to one of the Canary Islands than some of the drier more arid Greek Islands.
    -  A must see is the really sweet town of Oia - smaller and a bit less congested than Fira
    - An excursion to do an island tour would be a good idea here incorporating Oia -

Rhodes - a beautiful island.  Two major areas
- Old Town - so much to see here!
- Lindos Village - where the ancient Acropolis is located

Kusadasi
- Ephesus - an absolute must see

Mykonos
   -  The Delos Archaeological Site on Mykonos has classical ruins, but Mykonos is a great (on the small side) island to just explore Mykonos (or Hora) Town. There are cobblestone alleys, restaurants and boutiques.  It's easy to navigate by foot.  You can find your way easily to beaches, cafes, red domes churches, etc.

Katakolon - the only site here to see is Olympia which is worth taking a guided tour to.   Or visit a winery, which this area is known for.

Corfu -
     - has some of the best beaches in the region; chief among them are Agios Stefanos-Avliotes, Agios Spyridonas, Boukari and Arillas.  Corfu is also lush with tropical flora and fauna - different from the desert-like climate that permeates Greece's Cyclades series of isles.
     - Corfu has some of the best scenery which you can experience on an island tour/scenic drive.
    -  Corfu Town is a bustling contemporary city, the capital of the island and, within its walls, contains its old town

Dubrovnik
      - Dubrovnik is a bit like Venice without the canals. It has that same aura of ancient, tiny "streets" filled with life rather than cars, but it's laid out on a much smaller scale. One of the major distinctions of Dubrovnik is that the medieval-era city is a walled city -- completely encircled.  Dubrovnik is still being restored; the city was seriously damaged as a result of shelling that occurred during the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian war in 1991 - 1992.  This could be a good port for relaxing, for strolling its picturesque streets, investigating a few historic sights and then finding a sidewalk cafe, watching the world go by.
